Johnny Depp’s old friend and neighbor recalled coming home and seeing wine running down the hallway wall outside the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star’s attic, according to a report.
A statement by 40-year-old Depp’s friend Isaac Baruch’s witness was read in London’s High Court on Friday in the defamation suit of actor “Edward Scissorhands” against the Sun for allegedly unfairly calling him a “handcuff puncher” in a 2018 story based on Heard accusations
Baruch, who was living rent-free in one of Depp’s penthouses at the time, said he was returning to his home on the night of May 21, 2016, the same day that Heard and Depp allegedly entered into a violent fight, when he saw broken glass and wine. in the hallway outside Depp’s house, according to a Mirror report.
“As we immediately exited the elevator and down the hallway leading to the 5 penthouses on this floor Mr. Depp owned, we noticed that there was broken glass on the floor of a broken sconce hanging on the wall,” according to Baruch’s statement, which was read in the courtroom.
“We then proceeded to round the corner of the hallway and stopped in front of Penthouse 1, because there was a large puddle of spilled wine along with splashed wine running down the wall directly in front of the door,” the statement continued.
“I said to my friend something like, ‘It looks like someone was hit, these guys probably had a party,’ that is, Mrs. Heard’s friends, Raquel Pennington and her fiance Josh Drew, who lived in Penthouse 1” Baruch said in the statement.
Later, Baruch said that when he asked Drew what happened, when he left the apartment, “he answered very seriously with words that said, ‘We had a difficult day.’
Baruch testified Friday that the photos of Heard’s bruised face were “false.”
